Remember what?

As you have probably been able to tell, I have gotten a little scatterbrained lately. I am adjusting to the new medicine for my fibro while also getting everything at work done so things will run smooth while I am gone and packing. I think I need to simplify or focus on one thing at a time.

I have everything rounded up and packed with the exception of my bathroom bag because I will need that stuff. My hubby will miss me while I am gone but I am sure he is ready for me to leave already so he doesn’t have to keep hearing me say, I feel like I am forgetting a lot of stuff. He keeps reassuring me that I have it and we will do one final check as we load up the car tomorrow.

I gave up on trying to do edits last week when I kept reading the same sentence and did not know what needed to be fixed but just wasn’t understanding what I was reading. You can’t critically read while your mind is so distracted.

I managed to get everything at work done. I feel comfortable with leaving things the way they are right now. I’m pretty sure I will not get very many texts while I am gone.

I will always have the feeling of forgetting things no matter what I do, but I am pretty certain that the hubby has made sure that  have everything I need. He double checks me to make sure that I actually did what I said I was going to instead of mentioning I need to and then not actually do it.

I am so excited for this trip! I can’t wait to be on my way tomorrow. Things will be quite on here until I get back but I will be back with many things to tell you about.

Taking on more than I thought

Ok, so I had this great intention of doing the short stories every Friday. It is a great idea in theory. The problem is that I seem to run out of time to write the stories. As most of you know, I am the assistant coach for my daughter’s competition dance team and also have a day job as a paralegal. I know that sounds like a lot all by itself.

Competitions start in two weeks. I have a conference in early April. It is crunch time for both. I didn’t take that into consideration when doing my schedule for the year.

I had emergency surgery last week to remove my gall bladder. What I didn’t realize was how bad the gall bladder had been making me feel for a long time. Now that I am recovering quickly from the surgery I have found my self with a lot of extra energy. The doctor said that my gall bladder had been bad for quite some time. This means that my body was fighting the gall bladder that whole time. Now that it is gone my body doesn’t know what to do with the energy ti had been expending on the bad gall bladder.

I have so much energy and am getting so much done but I am still only one person. I can only to do much. I love being a part of something that means so much to my daughter, I love the day job (plus it pays the bills LOL) and I would never be able to give up writing.

So that leaves me getting more organized. In order for me to keep up with everything, as I am not willing to drop any of them, I just have to organize and manage my time. It can be done and won’t even be difficult, I just have to do it.

In the meantime, I will be doing short stories but it probably won’t be every week. They will get added as I work them into my schedule. I know this is a long ramble just to say that there won’t be a story this week, but I wanted to make sure that you all know I am not forgetting about the stories and will get them out when I can.

I will still be posting on here at least twice a week sometimes it will be ramblings like this and sometimes it will be more. You will just have to stay tuned to see what is next 😉

Getting behind

I always have the best intentions, but most of the time things don’t work out as planned. Only one week after saying my cold was gone and I would not miss another Short Story Friday, that is exactly what I did.

It is not completely my fault that I missed the short story this week. Sunday I went to the ER in a lot of pain. I ended up having emergency surgery to get my gall bladder removed. I was down and out of it. There was no way for me to keep up with everything going on with the fogginess in my head due to the pain killers.

I am finally starting to feel better. I am taking Advil during the day and only taking the pain killers at night so I can sleep. I am still pretty sore but it is getting better every day. I am sure walking into my office tomorrow will not be as good to see, though.

While I am sure that there is plenty sitting on my desk waiting for me to get back, I will get through it all. An unplanned week off is worse than a planned one, but they are both something that I have to work through. Sometimes it is a good feeling to see how much you are needed at your job. I love the help I receive in trying not to leave everything for me, but to know that I am needed for that work to get done gives me a sense of purpose.

While I have enjoyed the down time that I don’t usually get, I am ready to get back on the horse. I am used to always being on the go. Sitting around and waiting for my body to heal enough to get back out there is not an easy task for me.

I am finally able to sit at the computer and get a few things done. For a while there sitting in this chair was not going to happen. Now that my body is mending itself and adjusting to a piece being removed, I can start to slowly get back to doing what I love.

Welcome to all the new subscribers!!! If you signed up because of the post in the Facebook party then I have sent your ebook to you. Check your email and let me know if you have any problems! The best way to thank an author for a book that was given to you for just putting their work out there is to write a review!

I don’t post a lot but try and post once every couple of days. After Christmas I will post a few reviews of books that I have done recently and then I will start posting reviews as I do them. I want to get the last few that I have done on here because I really loved the books and want to tell you about them 🙂

Feel free to post comments and contact me for questions or anything you would like for me to post for you!

Happy Holidays!!!
